More About This Program

Diagnostic Radiology plays an integral and essential part in the modern management of patients. The role of the Diagnostic Radiologist has been widened by the tremendous technological advances in imaging over the last few decades. Nepal has an acute shortage of Radiologists. With the opening of the DMRD course in 1988, this shortage has been reduced to some extent.
